The classic B &amp; W 20&#39;s Hollywood-glam opulence was more acceptable in pre recession times. These days most people are looking for unassuming refined elegance in the high-end (I am assuming this sofa has a price tag as high as the noses of people that could afford it)<br /><br />The multiple textures- subtle and in your face are bang-on though. I like the light and shadow-play on the high-gloss side board and end table too. The tile in the background looks suspiciously like Grespania&#39;s Origami wall tile too- a nice choice.Ryan Fasanhttp://www.patti-tile.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-32304309465983585942011-03-10T11:06:58.083-05:002011-03-10T11:06:58.083-05:00There are no wrong answers, it&#39;s just interest...There are no wrong answers, it&#39;s just interesting to see people&#39;s reactions.Paul Anaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777487147630173644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-81438648881689937462011-03-10T11:06:26.095-05:002011-03-10T11:06:26.095-05:00Italian taste can be counted upon in the kitchen, ...Italian taste can be counted upon in the kitchen, at least.
